- Hello scrappers and planet lovers. This video will show you how to sort your taps and faucets that you find while scrapping. I will tell you how to identify the metals and separate them in order to help you maximize your profits.
Very informative, got right to the point. Scrapping will be more profitable for me in the future for watching this. Thanks for your time, effort and knowledge!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching as well. Stay well and happy scrapping.
great stuff as always
This is a great video
Hank you for the kind words and comment. Glad you liked it. Stay well and happy scrapping!
You're a legend. Thanks for the info
lol, thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it.
I find the best way to get those brass fittings off the stainless hose ends is to put it in a vise and crush it. I find crushing things with the vise is one of my best tricks for scrapping.
Brass is soft and crushes easily when it comes to fittings.
Thanks for the vids.
I will have to try that. Thanks for the tip and for watching.
Tin Man great video. Thx.
Nice man
Great video, thanks
Thanks for the comment. Glad you found it useful.
Awesome video as always in this video shine some light from me. I have a lot of this stuff to separate
Glad I could help. There are some unique taps out there.
Very informative! I will say that stainless does have a few grades that are ever so slightly magnetic. Especially hardware from Taiwan. I figure if a neodymium magnet picks it up but with out much pull its low grade stainless. Else watch your fingers!!!
One of my favorites to find
good video, very informative and exactly what i was looking for, got a new plumber in the neighborhood and i'm getting goodies every week, nice brass and copper, and needed some help with the chrome, zinc, and stainless steel. even found a real nice (brand new looking) vice grip in the dumpster, obviously a mistake. keep 'em coming, real helpful.
Thanks for the comment. Glad I could help.
Thanks Tin Man Scrapper , I had asked about brass fixtures and shot gun hulls on another video & how to get small plastic & Iron / Tin , Steel parts out of these pieces , I guess burning the Sg hulls (w/o plastic ) is a good idea along with the Brass with plastic inside . I also need an angle grinder for those THICK pieces . GD & Thx Again .
All faucet valves can be taken apart for repair without burning or angle grinders.
Good video tin 👍
Thank you Juanito! Merry Christmas
stainless is nonmagnetic yes.
but stainless does spark.
brass does not.
thanks for sharing.
Aluminum doesn’t. Sorry yes it does.
@@TinManScrapper what!?!
brass does not spark. but it is similar in weight to stainless.
you are correct that aluminum does not spark but it is lighter than stainless steel.
stainless steel does spark .
@@hayesj6698 yes I stand corrected as does spark, but I agree that brass does not spark. Did I say it does by accident?
S.s. Does spark
When did I say brass sparks? Also I agree, stainless steel does spark
Most faucets have brass and zinc/die cast parts. Some stainless steel pieces.
Always check screws. Most screws are stainless so they don’t rust. You can shake them off a magnet even though they have a little stick.
Agree, thanks for the comment.
Lots of stuff is marked stainless but it's magnetic and the recycle places will not pay as stainless if it's magnetic.
That shroud is not stainless it’s Zinc
Have you a video on how to remove the brass found on the inside of a faucet? I find many of them and with no power tools, lose at the yard when I get irony brass because the faucet, be it stainless or chrome is still attached. I scratch my head at hot to remove the brass without an angle gringer/rip saw etc.
Those steel handles brake off easy too if you can get the nut off. My yard will call it clean That way.
The plastic in fosets turns out you just need to determine the direction to turn it in and some just drop in and over time get calcified in to the fixture.
Thanks
I use wire cutter on the plastic items if it cuts easy you can tell its platic
Good fucking content bro. Appreciate you
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate you as well as that compliment. Stay well.
How do you know your stainless isn't aluminum?
Most of them parts that you are saying is stainless steel is more likely diecast
I think it depends on the yard and there are die casts, but the stain steel ones will spark with a grinder
@@TinManScrapper OK I didn’t know you did a spark test
👍
Thank you for watching. Glad you liked it. Stay well
If you use a super strong magnet like from a computer hard drive there will be an extreme small magnetic attraction if it is stainless.
Yeah, but not enough, and will still be classified as stainless steel. There are always exceptions to the rule.
From your experience are faucets like those ever Zinc? I have collected what seems like stainless faucets, not magnetic, etc, but don't spark on the grinder and too heavy for Aluminum.
Depends on the yard. Sometimes the sorters will put the chrome ones with zinc if you only have a few. Thanks for the question and stay well.
Zinc I thought it was white brass or something
@@ScrappingwithGrandpa apparently they put all brass together as brass. I have seen them put zinc and chrome together.
I have three poured bars of something that I got from my father-in-law after he died he never told me what it was and I still don’t know today. I’m gonna share it on one of my videos I just want somebody to be able to tell me what it is.
@@ScrappingwithGrandpa lead?
Some stainless is magnetic some isn't. Don't take my word on it, google if you don't know.
Is Nickel plated brass the same price than clean brass ?
Yes
But, some yards want it separated and some don’t.
Good day Nice video. I think I heard your wife yellljng , "who took my stopper out of sink" Thanks
Lol, funny thing I actually forgot it in the garage for about an hour after filming….oops.
Suggest that you be careful using the term metal. Any metal and plastic can be chrome plated, even stainless, there are lots of metals, the ferrous metals are iron or steel which are magnetic, chrome is a plating not a solid metal,,please remember that you can be confusing using the term metal, as it applies to copper, brass and aluminium. Sorry to be picky, because I like your videos.
you ever see a faucet that is got the like nickel coating but when you scratch it is copper? seem to have one, when i scratch its def copper color, you think its copper or maybe red brass? idk, what do you think?
I have seen with copper underneath. #2 copper tubing because of the nickel coating on it. Red brass usually items like on water tank
